Part Car, part SUV, all disaster, the Yugo GV has been called the Mona Lisa of bad cars. Time Magazine reports that those who have driven the Yugo GV have “The distinct feeling of something assembled at gunpoint.” The car lacked so many modern features that “carpet” was listed by the manufacturer as a major selling point. The GV’s engine frequently fell apart for no clear reason other than the razor-thin manufacturing budget of the car. In the end, the GV went in the books as an utter failure to the American public, and no one with any serious need to be anywhere would be getting there in one of these scrap-heaps.

A buddy of mine had a Yugo GV. He actually avoided a ticket for rolling through a stop sign by telling the cop he was conserving momentum.

They overlooked the '61 Dodge Lancer. Growing up, a little old lady down the street drove a red one. I always considered it the ugliest car I have ever seen.

Oh, it is ugly, but that slant six will outlast both of us.

I love the look of that Lancer. It just screams to be made into a drag car.

Exactly what does a drag car look like? I assume it would have big hands, a large adam's apple, and you would dress it up in women's clothing but maybe I'm missing something.
